@netiger: Do you have a link to substantiate that claim? You're telling me that Scorpio (a system that isn't even shipping yet) has sold more in a few days, than the PS4 Pro sold "the whole year". First of all, I don't know how you actually SELL something that isn't available. Do you have actual data that backs up your statement?
Nintendo needs to get some better infrastructure and UI designers. Their console management experience doesn't compete with systems from 12 years ago! Their "native" controllers absolutely suck...and to do any serious gaming on the console, you have to buy a peripheral controller for the damn thing. They need to make their online experience something that isn't a convoluted piece of garbage and baffles anyone when it comes to doing anything reasonable on the system. I have a 3DS, and it's my "go-to" system when I'm on holiday, but I can't imagine ever supporting Nintendo's home console products after the last two systems and the neglect they have seen over the years.
@chiefwiggum16: Why do you keep coming here then? My advice to you? Frequent "every other site" that you speak of. Why do want to subject yourself to this non-sense repeatedly? If I were you, I'd just move on and not bother with Gamespot any longer. You won't be missed, I can guarantee you that.
I tried to jump back into Destiny after taking about 2 years away from the game. I bought the original, but never any of the DLC. About 4 months ago, I found The Destiny Collection on sale, so decided maybe I'd give it a go. After 3 months of the game sitting on my shelf, I finally patched it and jumped in. There's something just "off" about this game for me. After so much time away, I couldn't believe that the patrols were STILL the same non-sense! There has been literally NO CHANGE to bounties at all. Seriously Bungie? So, I decided, what the heck...let me try out some of these new story missions. Maybe those will be a bit different. Nope. The missions are sub-bosses that are bullet sponges...tedious bores...I'm level 24, and doing a level 10 mission (supposedly). I died three times.
Watching this video, I feel like nothing has changed...Adventures and Lost Sectors? Adventures sound a bit like those Exotic Bounties you used to get. I'm no sure why they feel like Lost Sectors should be "hard to find". What good does it do them to "hide" their content? Are they random occurrences? If not, why make them so "easter egg'ish"? With the internet, I'm sure you'll easily be able to find a listing of them and their "spawn times". Are they shared experiences within the world, meaning, can others beat you to them, and then you have to wait your turn?
I was hoping Destiny 2 might be a game I was interested in, but I just don't think that will be that case.
@hazy33: Yeah, Aussies are pretty resilient people. Being an American living in Oz now, it's very interesting to watch the news and notice the stark contrast. I've seen stories with Aussie people, where they just lost their homes in floods or fires, and they're on the news the next day...stoic, but just saying, "Well, guess we'll start over again". They're so matter of fact about everything - 90% of them don't get hysterical about anything. You get an American on the news and they're screaming bloody murder because they got cut off in traffic forcing their heart rate above 120!
I'm an American living in Melbourne (for about 16 months now)...I don't think they really care too much about this. After reading some of these comments, I do wonder if this was a tongue-in-cheek apology that wasn't meant to be taken too seriously. Can anyone provide actual commentary that shows Australians being offended by this?
And the coffees being too large is a funny thing too...Aussies (or maybe I should say Melburnians, specifically) are fanatical about their coffee. But I have often wondered why they are so damned small!! Make them BIGGER!! I don't even drink coffee! And these little Dixie cups they serve coffee in is a big f**king joke to me. I'm baffled at the number of coffee shops...every.other.door!! In the CBD, there is easily 8 to 10 coffee shops on each block. I don't know how they all survive...I think it's because when you buy one, it's so small, by the time you walk to the next block you're in need of another one!
I have loved my experience in Australia, but I am looking forward to returning to the States in the next 8 to 10 months...even with Trump as our leader. :|
@loafit: Let me make sure I understand...you're whinging about your inability to meet people...on a console. Seriously? What PSN features do you find a "f**king joke"?? What would "give PSN some life" in your eyes? The console does everything quite snappy without making you navigate through a bunch of unnecessary "bloat" to get to what you want to do, unlike Microsoft.
This games wasn't even on my radar until about 2 weeks ago when I started seeing ads on it here at Gamespot. I have never played a Saints Row game, except for some trial thing that came out some time ago for one of them. I wasn't really captivated by it at all. So, this game was a "consideration" for me. Then I saw these reviews, and I'm still very unsure. I'm kinda feenin' for a new game...but I don't think this is it. I'll have to wait until it goes on sale and I'm in the mood for something different.
@Zenopants: I guess you're one of these people that prefers to pay 10 different companies, $10 a month to make sure you can get all the services and content that you'd like. Good on ya, mate! Enjoy getting bent over...
How many different services do you pay for monthly to access entertainment/content?
